Production stoppage by AMD of the assembler models of the AMD RX Vega 64 and AMD RX Vega 56, to favor custom models from different manufacturers.

AMD is stopping the production and distribution of reference graphics cards, both the AMD RX Vega 64 and the AMD RX Vega 56. It seems that all German retailers have stopped receiving the assembler models of these graphics cards and already they will only receive customized models for each manufacturer. In other large stores such as Amazon or the North American Newegg they still do not show the customized versions of the RX Vega in stock and only the reference models can be found in both cases.

The arrival of custom models should be imminent, coinciding with the release of custom models from various manufacturers and the depletion of stock of the reference model. ComputerBase , which reported this information, states that several sources confirm that no more reference Vega cards will be shipped and that custom models from different manufacturers will soon be available. ASUS, Gigabyte, Sapphire, PowerColor, and XFX have already showcased their custom models of these graphics cards, and the first shipments are reportedly being sent to retailers worldwide.

Stopping the production of custom models can be a solution to the problems that the company has when supplying GPUs to the different assemblers. It is possible that when the market is full of custom models, they will resume their own production, as long as the GPU production is at an optimal level to supply all the demand. We must remember that AMD is already in development of Ryzen and Vega in 12nm, so there is also the possibility that we will not see any more reference models on the market.
